IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TREATY OF LISBON WITH RESPECT TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

Details

13 March 2014

Ian Hudghton (Greens/EFA) - The Treaty of Lisbon gave this House important new powers which enhance the democratic legitimacy to the EU. There are however aspects of this report of which I am wary; for example I do not consider that an enhanced role for European Political Parties in the selection of the Commission will resonate with our citizens. I accordingly abstained.
